When the Hunter was originally installed it was done so using "In Line" wiring. Apparently this method is used to accommodate a rain sensor, which we have but it NEVER functioned. Our Hunter's Common port was loaded with an orange wire, and two white wires went to the Rain Sensor port, a red to Zone 1, and blue to Zone 2. So that's how we wired the new Orbit, orange to the common port and we left the two white wires disconnected bc we didn't want the useless rain sensor any longer. When the Orbit didn't trigger the sprinklers, we scoured the internet for answers, before calling Orbit. Everything we read, watched or told was the Common wire is usually white BUT it could be any color. Wellll.... our Common wire was white, as it turns out. I don't understand it any further than that but that's what it was. Brent plugged the white wire into Common port and WALA!!!!
